Grants
Apply for a grant
We help young athletes aged 5 to 18 living in England or Wales, especially those who might not otherwise have the means to pursue their sporting passion.
What we can cover
- Equipment and kit
- Membership and subscription fees
- Tournament and event entry fees
- Travel to take part in sport
Who can apply
Young people aged 5 to 18 in England or Wales who, without support, could not realistically take part in their chosen sport. We prioritise those who are less privileged.
Parents, carers, coaches, teachers and support workers can apply on their behalf.
What happens next
You get a reference straight away, and we check your application is complete. Our volunteer trustees then consider it, usually within a few weeks.
We email you whenever there is an update, and you can follow progress, upload documents and message us from your account.
